Ingredients
MEATBALLS
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (Note 1)
- 1/2 onion , peeled (brown/yellow)
- 500g / 1 lb beef mince (ground beef)
- 1 garlic clove , minced
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp ketchup (or Aussie tomato sauce)
- 1 beef bouillon cube , crumbled (Note 2)
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tsp Dijon mustard OR 2 tsp dry mustard powder
Cooking meatballs:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Sautéed mushrooms:
- 2 tbsp / 30g unsalted butter
- 250 g / 8 oz mushrooms , sliced
- 1/4 tsp each cooking/kosher salt & pepper
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
Gravy:
- 2 cups beef stock , low sodium
- 1/4 tsp each cooking/kosher salt & pepper
Gravy thickener (slurry):
- 3 tbsp flour (all purpose / plain)
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Serving:
- mashed potato (or rice or pasta)
- parsley , finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Meatballs:
- Grated onion - Place the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Using a standard box grater, grate the onion over the panko so it soaks in. Mix through.
- Meatball mixture - Add remaining Meatball ingredients and mix well with your hands until thoroughly combined.
- Roll balls - Roll 20 to 22 balls (1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture). I use an ice cream scoop with lever, handy!
Cooking:
- Slurry - Mix ingredients in a bowl until smooth. We will use this to thicken the gravy (no lumpy gravy, yay!)
- Brown meatballs - Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook meatballs, using tablespoons to roll (to minimise deforming) until browned on the outside but still raw inside. Remove onto a plate and set aside.
- Sauté mushrooms - Melt butter in the same skillet still on high. Cook mushrooms until they start to soften (~ 2 minutes). Add salt, pepper and the garlic, then cook for a further 2 minutes until the garlic is golden and mushrooms are soft.
- Make gravy - Add beef stock, salt, pepper and slurry, then stir to combine.
- Simmer meatballs - Once the liquid starts to simmer, add meatballs and any juices pooled on the plate. Adjust heat to medium so it's simmering gently and cook for 5 minutes until gravy is thickened and meatballs are cooked through.
- Serve over mash sprinkled with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Panko breadcrumbs - larger pieces than normal breadcrumbs which makes meatballs more tender inside. Pretty common nowadays, found in the Asian section of supermarkets here in Australia. Can sub with 1/2 cup normal breadcrumbs.
- Bouillon cubes adds so much better flavour compared to just plain salt! Best subs: chicken or veg bouillon or stock powder. Salt sub: 1.5 tsp salt.
- LEFTOVERS can be stored for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, or frozen.
- Nutrition assumes 5 servings, excludes mashed potato.
